Yay Hooray! I spotted the first yellow crocuses today, in a sunny spot in an old cemetery. (Not the one where I usually walk, but an older one, situated a bit closer to the city centre.)
In the thawing heart of winter's chill,
Beneath the snow, a secret thrill.
A tender shoot, a splash of light,
Yellow crocuses bloom so bright.
They whisper tales of spring's return,
As icy grips of cold adjourn.
With petals spread like sunlit rays,
They end the white and wintry days.
A golden bloom with velvet touch,
Their beauty speaks, yet says not much.
For in their silence lies the power,
To herald spring's triumphant hour.
So let the yellow crocuses come,
And with their bloom, let spring succumb.
For they are nature's gentle spies,
Announcing winter's sweet demise. (Yes. It's another poem generated by Bing Copilot.)

It's always encouraging to see nature pushing her way through to Spring.
They are so cute and cheerful. We don't see many yellow ones here. And I love the moss covered stumps, it looks like an artful setting for them.
It is so exciting to see our first spring flowers, crocus or daffodils, etc. As a child we would find crocus planted by our parents peeking up through the snow in Wisconsin.
Beautiful light and colour in those pictures. Was Bing Copilot related to Bing Crosby?
Very beautiful poem! The yellow crocuses are a delightful sight!
Those first tiny spring flowers are a welcome sight, aren't they!
I know we are always a little ahead of you with spring, not a surprise geographically. But this year the difference seems particularly big, what with your snow and ice while we had rain and mild temperatures mostly.
It must be heartwarming to see another sign that spring is on the way. Yet again, I'm impressed by the poem.
The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, it was 44ºC in the garden in full sunshine, and I wonder what temperatures we'll be facing this summer. Today I'm waiting in for a delivery of gas for my central heating, and wonder if I'll have chance to use it!
my favorite part of the poem is
For they are nature's gentle spies,
Announcing winter's sweet demise.
co pilot rocks poems for sure. Happy days are here again when you can see the yellow blooms. good bye winter.
It really is, Jenny :)
Ginny, I like how they used the tree stump as well.
Terra, that may happen here as well - depending on what kind of weather and temperatutures we've been having.
Thanks YP. Are you related to Neil Young or Neil Diamond??
Thanks Duta. (Not that I can take much credit for the poem...)
Meike, from photos I've seen on your blog I can only agree!
Carol, I think I actually prefer +4'C over +44'C ...
Sandra, I'm beginning to wonder what kind of copyright applies to AI-generated poetry... ;-)
No - Neil Down!
Never heard of him! (LOL) As for Bing Copilot being related to Bing Crosby or not, I just looked into that, but you'll have to examine the evidence and decide for yourself. (New post.)
